First Circle are 7 Minor Keynotes

The first circle are 7 Minor Key-notes, their roots having been the last 7 Key-notes that have developed.

The second circle is a continuation of the first, shewing the 7 previously developed Key-notes are the roots of the 7 higher Key-notes.

Below, the D# and E? are repeated, to shew the use of the two poles.

I had forgotten all the minor keys, except that A is the relative minor of C major; but although I had only faint hopes of success, I determined to try, and I gained the twelve keys correctly, with the thirteenth octave. I found also that E? was usually printed as a minor key-note, Nature's laws having shown that it must be D#. [Harmonies of Tones and Colours, Dr. Gauntletts Remarks1, page 13]
